Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Apuiarés, Ceará for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2306 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2306 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), FB Bombas reaches Apuiarés with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. FB Bombas maintains in Apuiarés the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 610 + API 676 + ASME B73.1 — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, food, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. For Apuiarés, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — FBCN centrifugal pumps follow ASME B73.1 normalization, dimensionally interchangeable with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds and other global manufacturers already installed in the plant. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Apuiarés, Ceará, with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series applied to the local industry sector that dominates the region. Direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP, with application engineering for technical sizing and certification under CRCC Petrobras / API 610 / ASME B73.1 per project specification. Only 91 km from the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Apuiarés benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. The road network BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020, with BR-116 (via BA/PI) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Apuiarés. Typical fluids in Apuiarés's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series.

In Apuiarés, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. Typical applications mapped for Apuiarés include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Apuiarés considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. Before shipment to Apuiarés, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
In Apuiarés, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Apuiarés, distrito-industrial-cluster seasonality manifests as variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. In Apuiarés, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. The fluid catalogue in Apuiarés (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Apuiarés (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The distrito-industrial cluster around Apuiarés concentrates applications diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
For Apuiarés, 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Apuiarés via BR-116 (via BA/PI) (2306 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Apuiarés, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.
FB engineers serve Apuiarés for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Apuiarés — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Apuiarés plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Apuiarés and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Apuiarés is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Apuiarés comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Apuiarés, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Apuiarés and all of Brazil.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
